In 1934 people were trained on the job. This was as true in the WPA as it was outside.
What changed is not the newfound impossibility of doing that, just the reluctance of employers to pay for it and the willingness of the government to indulge their insatiable demand for cheap, pretrained labor.
- tossandthrow 1y agoI find it difficult to believe that the price of training has not gone up. I am not as convinced as you. When training is 7 year degree to achieve some specialization it simply is not for everyone. Also, ubi is not anti work - it is merely the acknowledgement that not everyone have salary worthy things to do. The alternative it havy financialization as in you receive a tip when you bring down you neighbors garbage.
- pydry 1y agothere are many reasons to be against a job guarantee but the presumption that every potential job nowadays requires a 7 year degree is a particularly bad one.
- tossandthrow 1y agoThat is not the presumption - I trust that you are enough of a non-LLM to properly understand the message behind the words.
